This is one of my soapbox items, so bear with me for a moment.
My family uses the computer a lot, and sometimes we have junk mail that's useful. This morning my wife said to me that there was an Ad in the junk mail that was 50% off. So I find the Ad and print it off. Not to my surprise, most of the Ad prints on one page, and then the company's bottom of the web-page stuff prints on on about three lines of the next page, wasting a perfectly good piece of paper. I'm a recycling person and this burns me up because it happens all the time.
Now mind you, I'm a computer scientist and I guess this bothers me because I know it doesn't take much to figure out what will fit on a standard 8" x 10" piece of paper and format the report for it.
So if you are a website owner and want people to print web-pages from your sites, save the trees and have your programmers get it right by formating printable output correctly.
Off the box for now.
